[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make pour over coffee every morning. It’s no slower than drip coffee, the effort is worth it, and cleanup is easier than the french press.

- Use an electric kettle to heat filteres water to 205 F and set it to maintain that temp.

- Use high-quality, freshly ground beans only. If you buy in bulk, keep the beans in an airtight container. Any beans that will take longer than two weeks to use should be frozen.

- Buy cone filters. I like hario size 2 (or v02) to make ~4 cups at once. You can compost the filter plus grounds afterward. Some say to wet the filter before adding beans but I’m not convinced this does anything.

- the first pour should just be enough to cover the coffee. Let it sit for a minute before the second pour.

- the second pour is where the magic happens

- if you want a little extra flavor, add ground coriander to your pour over. Or add real vanilla after you pour your cup.

I love coffee.

size 2 for 4 cups seems like a weak brew. How many grams of coffee?[/quote]

I was mistaken; it's actually a size 3 for four or five cups.

I don't measure coffee beans precisely but probably use about 16-20g per cup. This is my main grinder: https://www.oxo.com/shop/bundles/conical-burr-coffee-grinder-steel-coffee-pop-container-1-7-qt-with-scoop-bundle.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=2024-03-01_kw_na_bndl_na_multi_oxo_bndl_na_na_na_n/a_na_na_na_na_dtc_na_na&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20749499694&gbraid=0AAAAADHFonB6ESaPW9E1ZMRizBH7HPIub&gclid=Cj0KCQjwucDBBhDxARIsANqFdr1m_QKe1vVsV24QebJ5oGY4g0L9lD-LzYEEZmFTyg1MK5iXYlyOyl4aAjCOEALw_wcB

I have a backup hand grinder that works well, but it only grinds one or two cups at a time. [/quote]
